Passavanti, Jacopo, approximately 1297-1357, Segni, Alessandro, active 17th century · 1681 · In Firenze : Pel Vangelisti · 6 pictures

This 1681 Italian devotional treatise on repentance by Jacopo Passavanti, edited by Alessandro Segni, was printed in Florence by Pel Vangelisti and dedicated to the Prince of Tuscany. The pictures are small woodcut typographic ornaments: vase-like urn borders with flower heads and scrolls, and a decorated initial D with foliage, set beside printed Italian text. A designer might take from them compact, historical border and initial-letter models for pairing with serif type.
